Today we are going to be talking about the haunting images coming from India where more than 300,000 new Covid-19 cases are reported every day.
In India, which is averaging more than 2,000 Covid-related fatalities and 300,000 new infections per day, understaffed hospitals are running out of beds for patients and pleading with government authorities for desperately-needed medical supplies, while crematoriums and graveyards are being overwhelmed.
